BOSTON —After a riveting playoff-clinching win, the Boston Red Sox turn their attention to playoff seeding. After Justin Slaten, Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman came through in Friday’s win, it remains to be seen if they will be used again to secure a better playoff matchup.

If not, expect Justin Wilson to rebound from his last outing’s grand slam, with Chris Murphy a potential option as well. Regardless, the bullpen must be used wisely to balance rest with the desire to win for playoff matchups.
